About Haunting Soul from the Dark Building
One of the few and of the better Chinese horror movies. The plot revolves around the ghost of a murdered girl, who haunts a creepy, retro basement. A sound technician and an actress encounter her unhappy soul when the come to the film in the now cobweb ridden, dilapidated building.
Directed by Mu Deyuan, Ming Liang, Haunting Soul from the Dark Building leans on a strong ensemble — Chen Xiguang, Pan Jie, Han Xiaolei — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1989.
